Coffee dosing apparatus

A coffee dosing apparatus provided with a holder (5) for coffee powder and a dosing mechanism, the dosing mechanism being provided with a dosing chamber (7), which is bounded at a lower side by a bottom wall (8) with a discharge opening (9), and which is bounded at an upper side by an upper wall (10) with a feed opening (11), the feed opening being rotationally staggered relative to the discharge opening, a dosing element (12) bounding portion spaces and being rotatable about a substantially vertically extending axis being arranged in the dosing chamber (7), a driving element (13) being connected with the dosing element (12), wherein the driving element comprises a manually operable handle (13), between the handle (13) and the dosing element (12) a coupling (14, 15, 16) being provided, which is such that the dosing element (12) is rotatable in limited steps, at the end of a limited step a mentioned portion space being located above the discharge opening, and a next limiting step being startable only after the preceding limited step has been rounded off completely, the coupling (14, 15, 16) comprising a double ratchet mechanism.
